Heard this the other day on Bad Sisters season 2, as an Aussie watching an Irish show, I almost couldn’t believe my ears. That flute and the sample, it’s such an iconic track for this band and Aussie hip hop.
2003 smash hit in Australia. They are still going strong to date! Sample was from an Indie/folk/hippie/country song from the 70s called People In The Front Row by American artist Melanie Safka who sadly passed away this year!
@@SaeedReacts. Them and Bliss n' Eso were the dominant acts of that era of Aussie Hip-Hop. Bliss n' Eso are interesting due to A: One of the two MC's in the trio is from The Bronx (Bliss) while the other is from Sydney (Esoterik) so you have two completely different accents going back n fourth on each song. B: The lyrics since Flying Colours lean heavy into pure poetics. C: They were the one of the acts that really solidified Hip-Hop culture in Australia.
That line they sing near the start of the first verse- “This life turned out nothing like I had planned” was a reference to another great Australian act - rock group Powderfinger - and their song These Days. You should definitely check them out sometime and that song is not a bad place to start.
Thank you sir for the birthday well wishes . I've always took this song as the people in the nosebleed section fell in love with the people in the front row like they wish they were there but who knows . All I know is this song was released in 2003 and they have done nothing but got better from there . They have so many great songs . Great driving music Also He saying "wanna here that bass when I make love"
I think it’s because the people up front can come backstage after the show with piles of blow 😂…. Thus changing where the “nosebleed” seats are really located
@@JasonTurner-uk9rk ahh , wouldn't have thought of that one. I've also heard people call the front the nosebleed section because quite often it's the Mish pit .
Maybe…. And maybe the bass too…. But I’m just gonna assume these rocked a partying kinda lifestyle…. But you introduced them to me too so I do t know 😂
Nosebleed section can refer to a couple of things: - Where the mosh pit would be, where you could catch a stray hit to the face.... - Milder version, closest to the speakers so the decibels hit hard enough to give Nosebleed. That's as it was explained to me anyway.
Thanks! From people in the US, i have learned that it is used to refer to the seats high up or far away from the stage/field and usually being the cheaper seats.
@@SaeedReacts. It's from old theatre days when the theatre seating rose up steeply, you were so high up at the back and having to lean over the front to see, you'd think you'd get a nosebleed, otherwise known as sitting in the Gods as you're higher than the clouds. But this song is definitely about what Rolling Twenty was talking about.
dude it doesn't mean that the nose bleed section is the cheaper seats high up its name comes from the fact some people would ger nose bleeds during the Oprah
@@SaeedReacts. this isn’t the context that it’s being used in track, in this it’s a reference to the mosh pit. But you’re 100% right, in the past it was used to describe to seats that are the highest and farthest seats from the stage.
@@indeed8211this song is absolutely referring to the mosh pit. But you’re not wrong, traditionally, the nosebleed section would refer to the highest, furtherest seats from the stage.
I saw these guys at a festival along time ago and everytime I see this video I get the chills recalling the energy that came across the crowd to the this song. Sometime soon I'll hit you with some more caffeine to check out a more recent hoods song.
This song is a homage to hip hop itself, and how it can help individuals find their niche in life. And one of the best applications of a single sample you'll ever hear 😉 When it comes to complexity re syllables etc, you'll find interest in their discography and progression.
Thought I’d give this a listen and my ear perked up when I heard the sample of Melanie Safka (People in the front row). 😮I was introduced to her from a Ren song “Do You Believe”. The connections!!!
I appreciate there's contrasting opinions in the comments but as far I know the "nosebleed section" has only ever referred to the seats way up the back and way up high - hence nosebleed. So in the song they're shouting out everyone in the crowd from the front to the back, just like an MC would. Ofc the sample refers to falling in love with people in the "front row" which I think speaks more to a traditional performance on stage, under lights, because If you've ever been in that situation you literally can only see the first 2-3 rows and the rest of the audience is in darkness. So a performer really feeds of the energy and reactions they can see on their faces. But the first time I heard this track I thought the vocal and instrumental sample was so brilliant and cool and indeed the Hoods are a talented group who smashed it in the OZ hip hop scene.
Apparently the said it was a joke in an interview on a DVD released in 2007. I'm still researching it (I don't know why lol) and will let you know if I work it out
Love the Hoods, they're from Adelaide or better known as Radelaide where I live. Check out their collaboration with Sia, also and an Adelaide girl on I love it
Their song "Leave Me Lonely" is great! And their song "Fifty In Five" is dark and full-on. Similar to Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start The Fire", songs covering the events of the past decades. For a happy and very catchy song, check out "Pez - The Festival Song (feat. 360 & Hailey Cramer)". It's epic summer festival vibes and something that really puts me in the right frame of mind when heading down to the beach for a swim! (Perhaps not the best song given your history though 🤔😅)
Aussie born & raised, in my late teens when this was released. I still think it's weird to call the mosh/front row the nosebleed section, but the song's a bop.
The nosebleed section is in the bleachers .. high up and far enough away from the stage to give you a "nosebleed" .. farthest away from the "mosh pit".. some peeps like to make it up ... 😂😂😂
Its "bass" not "beats" "I want to hear that bass when I make love, hear some lyrics when I wake up" And its "I get live on the breaks, son, like Pace One"
The people that you projected as us We were nothing of the sort, you sold us all short Put down the champagne, no toast to the legacy And all the propaganda of prosperity That's what a machine does And they don't need therapy You turned us into a nation of haters
Not in Aus. They are talking about the people going apeshit right in front of the stage. “My people in the front all covered in beer”. It’s an Aussie drinking and dancing song. Nothing to do with coke.

Thanks for sharing that. Loved that line.
Hell yeah to some Powderfinger!
The nosebleed section is definitely the front where the mosh is wildest, and you're likely to get a nosebleed from a random arm swinging around
been there lol
Thank you sir for the birthday well wishes .

In Australia the nose bleed section is the mosh pit at the front where the hardcore fans go mental
Ooh, thanks for letting me know!
gotta remember we're on the other side of the world so everything is backwards hahah@@SaeedReacts.
I have never heard of the mosh pit referred to as the nosebleeds. It's always been way up the back and you're up so high you get a nose bleed.
thats called juxtaposition@@meganmorris8838

Was this you bday pick? Happy 52nd bob!!👍
@@JasonTurner-uk9rkit was . Thank you. It was a good way to get Saeed to check out the hoods.
Im also on a nostalgia trip lately, more so with watching movies from my childhood. Just woke up. Its 6am here 😅. Dont eat too much cake 😄🥳🎂
Good morning @@SaeedReacts. you take that back! How dare you tell me not to eat too much cake! Lol
Don’t don’t do too much coke either…. Just saying #PSA 😂
These guys have many many many songs, this was their first hit. They don’t really have any bad songs
Loved this one. Will listen to some more.
@@SaeedReacts. I think you will love them, they are very clever and just have so many hits, they rarely miss the mark.
Im old but the sentinal was their breakout song, years before nosebleed. This whole album brought a new generation to the concerts though.

Great song! Enjoyed the few songs i have heard since then

There is a story behind the name Radelaide 😀. Thanks for the recommendation!
Funny that. I don’t think anyone in Australia needed to have ‘nosebleed section’ explained. Gets pretty wild down the front here at gigs.
4:37 bass not beats
Their song "Leave Me Lonely" is great! And their song "Fifty In Five" is dark and full-on. Similar to Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start The Fire", songs covering the events of the past decades.

Anyone know what festivals the clip footage is from?
I’m wondering if I’m in that crowd somewhere.

Awesome song!
my fave song of all time lol, seen them toooo many times! according to others anyway. cheers from Oz x
Great song! Live shows must be awesome! Cheers from Belgium!
The nosebleed section is in the bleachers .. high up and far enough away from the stage to give you a "nosebleed" .. farthest away from the "mosh pit".. some peeps like to make it up ... 😂😂😂
I thought that! Watch too many American movies and shows 😄
Its "bass" not "beats"
"I want to hear that bass when I make love, hear some lyrics when I wake up"
And its "I get live on the breaks, son, like Pace One"
Great Aussie music
The people that you projected as us
We were nothing of the sort, you sold us all short
Put down the champagne, no toast to the legacy
And all the propaganda of prosperity
That's what a machine does
And they don't need therapy
You turned us into a nation of haters
I’m gonna guess it’s a double…. The nosebleed seat are far away from the stage and upper deck….. also maybe about coke and partying?
Never knew your nose could bleed from that (insert Homer Simpson dissapearing in bushes meme)
Not in Aus. They are talking about the people going apeshit right in front of the stage. “My people in the front all covered in beer”.
It’s an Aussie drinking and dancing song. Nothing to do with coke.
This song is so so old. They were kids.
You need to do there song stoping all stations
"Place one" means place a bet
You will dig bias b.
Please just for yourself go through Hilltop's discography
They put Aus hip hop mainstream
The nose bleed section are the people closest to the speakers, it makes your nose bleed.
Thanks for letting me know.
Do too many lines and you get nosebleeds
💯
You pause to much
Thank you!
Pls b quiet
Pretty please!
Yo, bro. You need to wstch this with the lyrics up. Its the bogan accent. Youre not quite hearing it right
